About MWSN: Free Live Sports Across the Midwest
The Midwest Sports Network (MWSN) is an independent regional sports media network delivering free live sports streams, full-game replays, highlights, news, and original programming to fans across the Midwestern United States.
MWSN provides professionally produced coverage of the teams, athletes, schools, leagues, and communities that define sports across the Midwest. Our programming is distributed through the web, connected TVs, social media platforms, and select television, radio, cable, and digital partners.
From professional and college athletics to high school sports, emerging leagues, national tournaments, and community events, MWSN gives Midwestern sports a larger platform and gives fans a free, dependable place to watch.
Free Sports for the Midwest
Sports are deeply connected to the identity of the Midwest, and access to them should not depend on another expensive subscription.
MWSN works with teams, leagues, schools, conferences, broadcasters, and production partners to make live sports available to larger audiences without placing MWSN programming behind a paywall.
Fans can watch games live, return for complete replays, catch up through highlights, and discover original programming from nearly any screen. Whether it is a college rivalry, high school championship, community showcase, or emerging team building its audience, MWSN connects the action with the people who care about it.

More Than a Streaming Platform
MWSN is both a regional sports network and a distribution platform for teams, leagues, schools, tournaments, and independent broadcasters.
Through professional onsite productions, remote broadcasts, partner feeds, live commentary, and digital distribution, MWSN helps sports organizations connect with viewers locally, regionally, and nationally.
Our coverage can include professional play-by-play, broadcast graphics, live production, replay distribution, highlights, interviews, and promotional support. This gives organizations a complete media platform while providing fans with a consistent destination for live and on-demand sports.
MWSN also creates meaningful opportunities for broadcasters, producers, reporters, editors, camera operators, and other sports media professionals to develop their skills through real event coverage.
Built for Midwestern Sports
The Midwest is home to some of the most passionate and deeply rooted sports communities in the country. MWSN was created to serve those communities with coverage that understands their teams, traditions, rivalries, and local importance.
Our regional focus includes Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and communities throughout the Midwestern United States. MWSN also carries select events and programming from outside the region when they are relevant to our viewers or distribution partners.
We believe regional and community sports deserve the same professionalism, energy, and attention traditionally reserved for the largest national events.
Our Story
The Midwest Sports Network began in 2018 as a regional digital sports platform created to connect Midwestern teams, athletes, and stories with larger online audiences.
After its early growth, MWSN became part of Schray Media, a full-service sports media company specializing in live broadcasting, streaming production, professional commentary, and digital distribution.
What began as a regional sports outlet has grown into a multi-platform network carrying live events, complete replays, highlights, news, interviews, and original programming.
As sports viewing continues to move beyond traditional cable, MWSN is building a modern regional alternative: professional sports coverage that is widely distributed, easy to access, and free for fans.
MWSN and NSBN
MWSN works alongside the National Sports Broadcast Network as part of the Schray Media network family.
MWSN is focused primarily on sports, teams, schools, and communities across the Midwestern United States. NSBN serves as a national sports network and distribution platform. Select programming may appear across both networks when broader distribution benefits the participating teams, leagues, and viewers.
This relationship gives regional events a dedicated Midwestern home through MWSN and the opportunity to reach national audiences through NSBN.
MWSN and SESN
MWSN and the Southeast Sports Network are regional partners within the Schray Media network family.
MWSN primarily serves the Midwest, while SESN focuses on teams and communities across the Southeastern United States. The networks may collaborate on events, tournaments, original programming, and national distribution opportunities.
